Gore Film Sparks Parents' Anger

"No you will not teach or show that propagandist Al Gore video to my child, blaming our nation -- the greatest nation ever to exist on this planet -- for global warming," Hardison wrote in an e-mail to the Federal Way School Board. The 43-year-old computer consultant is an evangelical Christian who says he believes that a warming planet is "one of the signs" of Jesus Christ's imminent return for Judgment Day.

Wow, the "greatest nation to ever exist on this planet." Ever. For someone who's a Christian, he is apparently not too familiar with the sin of selfish pride, which can be described as "excessive confidence or glorification in one's self, possessions or nation." And any reader of Proverbs should know "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."
